I am building a free online resource for engineers.
First, I want to add all steel section properties and dimensions to the database. I've found an Excel spreadsheet AISC Shapes Database v16.0.
The section properties are fine, but I am struggling to understand how to build section shapes for CAD files for engineers to download.
Here is the list of assumptions I wanted to clarify:
1. For all I-beams the fillet radius between web and flange is k minus tf. Is this correct?
2. S-Shapes. What is the flange corner radius? I've found some references of it being either half of the web to flange fillet radius or 0.6 of the web thickness.
3. C and MC. What is the flange corner radius?
4. MC. What is the slope of the flange? Found 3 degrees mentioned in some forums, but no official confirmation.
The current tool has all the data from the AISC spreadsheet uploaded and available here https://spectacalc.com/listing/33/53.
Drawings and Figures are uploaded for:
- W-Shapes
- M-Shapes
- S-Shapes
- HP-Shapes
- C-Shapes
